The science: driven by natural selection.

The technology: the product of hard work, smart engineering, and some clever chemistry.

Natural Aeration

Brooks and streams are naturally aerate water in bubble brooks. Their tools are rocks, and gravity, disturbing and oxygenating the water and breaking down organic content.

The result: life in the riverbed thrives - a healthy stream, full of bio-diversity.

Natural aeration is the inspiration and basis for modern wastewater treatment...

Municipal & Industrial Aeration

This is how large-scale wastewater is aerated - blowing air into water 24/7. It's very energy intensive (even with newer, efficient systems). Mechanical aeration uses 3% of US Electricity (120,000 GWh of power.) Every year. That equals more than 89,000 Metric Tons (annually) of CO2.
